Sherlock star reveals SA highjack ordeal

Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch is scarred from his carjacking horror.

The actor, who plays Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series Sherlock, was in South Africa filming TV series To the Ends of the Earth in 2000 when he and two co-stars were carjacked and held hostage in the execution position with a duvet over their heads.

They were eventually released in the night and managed to escape to find help at a truck stop shop - but he still bears the scars from the trauma.
